Nick Saban at SEC Media Days discussing a variety of topics.

The topics ranged from subjects within his own program like the open starting quarterback spot, recovering from last year's end with two losses and dealing with off-the-field issues to issues that affect all of college football like the upcoming playoff, the passing of the BCS and scheduling more conference games.

He even tackled things like creating more maturity within incoming freshman and told the media about his infant granddaughter.

Saban said there is no internal projections for the quarterback race between Blake Sims and incoming Florida State transfer Jacob Coker. They will compete in fall camp, and Saban never mentioned Coker's name during his press conference.
